Nocona High School’s Magye Fenoglio was named most valuable libero of the year while Bowie outside hitter Madison Little made the first team in District 3A-9.
In addition, Kamryn Cantwell from Bowie and Holliday’s Huntlee Martindale were chosen as the co-newcomers of the year.
Honors were released to the media on Thursday.
Nocona placed second in the district while Bowie was on the outside looking in for a postseason spot.
Henrietta advanced the farthest of all district volleyball teams.
Henrietta’s Taylor Bennett was overall district most valuable player.
Kenzie Kirk from Henrietta was chosen as the most valuable setter, Paradise’s Jett Preather most valuable hitter, Holliday’s Beka Hardin most valuable server, Reagan Taylor of Paradise most valuable blocker and Boyd’s Britney Howard most valuable defensive player.
Henrietta’s Rochelle Kabisch was chosen as the coach of year, leading the Lady Bearcats to the district title.
Three Nocona players were picked for the first team in outside hitters Sherese Price, Madilynn Cable and Katelynn Walker, joining Little on this elite squad.

Coming into the Jan. 30 District 9-2A battle between Nocona and Windthorst at Indian Gym, most fans expected a repeat performance of the first meeting, which the Indians won in overtime.
The Trojans had other ideas.
Playing a very aggressive style from the get-go, Windthorst took control early by using 82% shooting from the field to take a 15-point lead after one quarter. It would prove to be the difference in a 61-48 win over the Indians before a packed house.
Both teams are now 6-2 in district (Nocona 27-4 overall, Windthorst 20-6).

In the Jan. 31 battle between the boys basketball teams of Bowie and City View, the host Rabbits hung with the District 7-3A leaders for nearly a half but the Mustangs used their athleticism and speed to pull away in the second half of a 71-58 win.
Bowie is now 1-7 in district and 11-18 overall with City View goes to 7-1 and 15-6. Bowie Coach Ryan Dykes said his squad played hard for a while but needs to put together four quarters.
“I liked our start, our intensity from the tip,” Dykes said. “We did a good job rotating defensively and that seemed to rattle them early.”

Sy Parker wanted to celebrate her 16th birthday in a big way.
The Nocona sophomore did just that, pacing a big first quarter for the Lady Indians with 17 points and six rebounds. The hosts fed off of that and would end up cruising over Windthorst, 61-23 Friday afternoon.
Nocona ran its record to 22-7 and 8-1 in District 9-2A while Windthorst is now 12-12 and 6-3 in district. Lady Indian Coach Kyle Spitzer’s pregame want of playing fast came to fruition.
“We like to push the pace and we did that, most notably Sy,” Spitzer said. “When (Windthorst) went into a zone (defense), it slowed us down a bit.”
